RECOGNIZING THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE MILLPORT VOLUNTEER FIRE
COMPANY
______
HON. NICHOLAS A. LANGWORTHY
of new york
in the house of representatives
Monday, April 20, 2026
Mr. LANGWORTHY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and celebrate
the historic 100th anniversary of the Millport Volunteer Fire Company,
a vital institution of safety and service in Chemung County. For a
century, this dedicated department has stood as a courageous shield for
the residents of Millport and surrounding communities.
Throughout its storied hundred-year history, the Millport Volunteer
Fire Company has been defined by the selfless spirit of neighbors
helping neighbors. Since its founding, the company has remained
unwavering in its mission to protect life and property. The bravery of
members, both past and present, is a testament to the enduring strength
of the volunteer fire service in Chemung County.
Under the steadfast commitment of its officers and volunteers, the
company has fostered a legacy of reliability, integrity, and sacrifice.
Their tireless efforts have not only ensured the safety of their
district but have also deepened the sense of community through active
civic engagement and local leadership. These volunteers routinely leave
their homes and families to answer the call, embodying the very best of
the American spirit.
Mr. Speaker, I ask that the United States House of Representatives
join me in honoring the Millport Volunteer Fire Company on this
momentous milestone, and in thanking its members for a century of
heroic service to the community.
